[quote=Anonymous]I heard a reading specialist say that eventually, kids grow out of phases like this. That was true of me and baby sitter's club. For my friends it was goosebumps. DS's teacher is also a reading specialist and she has this thing where books to challenge you to improve your reading skills are the main course and books that are at or below your reading level are dessert, so she makes sure the kids get some of both. But...she's a really good teacher. She makes any book exciting, even if it's not dog man. I don't have the same training so dog man ad infinitum it is. Also, Dog Man is really good! They get a bad reputation because of the potty humor, the misspellings (which do bug me), and the fact that the have a lot of pictures, but the stories have much good messages, the characters are compelling, they are funny, and they teach visual literacy (which in our day and age is very important).
